Established by entrepreneur Ely Callaway in 1983, the Carlsbad, California, company of Callaway Golf has become a producer of golf products that cover all formats of clubs. Cleaning a Callaway club is similar to cleaning any golf club. It is not difficult or time consuming, but it is essential. Proper maintenance of clubs will extend the life and improve the performance. Golf stores have kits for cleaning, however, using products from home is just as easy.
Clubs
Step 1
Fill a bucket with warm water. Only put in enough water to cover the heads. Do not wet the ferrules. Add a squirt of dish-washing soap and stir to mix. Set the bucket near a wall so you can lean the clubs.
Step 2
Place the clubs face down in the bucket and lean the grips against the wall. Let the clubs soak for up to five minutes.
Step 3
Scrub each club head with a soft, non-wire brush. Work on grooved areas to remove any grass or oil embedded in the head.
Step 4
Rinse the club heads with fresh, running water and dry with a clean towel.
Wedges
Step 1
Scour the wedge head with a synthetic scouring pad. Rub the pad over the wedge head, paying attention to grooved areas. Wipe off debris with a clean cloth.
Step 2
Spray a lubricant-cleaner on a cloth.
Step 3
Wipe the head with the lubricant before storing the wedge.
Tips and Warnings
- Callaway advises that eventually all wedges will rust, but in some cases, this can be advantageous to the golfer. Rust on the wedge head adds roughness that will increase spin. Clean clubs frequently, at least after every few uses.
